More than a hundred Ohio Northern University students participated in the third annual Love Where You Live Day.
Throughout the afternoon students created murals, cleaned the campus, and much more.
This is an event that helps students develop skills after college that will help them make an impact in their community.
“This opportunity really gives them the opportunity to finally learn how to finally learn how to paint, maybe learn how to weed some stuff and to understand that they have a responsibility where they live so that it isn’t just about them, but they’re making an impact that affects everyone around them as well,” said Justin Courtney, the ONU Residence Life director.
Resident advisors say they are happy with the transformation they have seen on the campus and with the students as well.
“This is just one event that really proves that community is a really big thing here and again just seeing the campus improve its look overall,” said Corey Baker, a 5th year Pharmacy student.
“From an RA perspective I want people to really enjoy living here and have this feel as much like home as possible,” said Madison Webb, a resident advisor.
Besides putting in some hard work around the campus students are also thanking the people that do these same jobs for them by making something sweet.
“Show some love to them,” said Avory Winans. “Show that we care about them and that we love to have them here and how much they do for us.”
The hard work is going to pay off as hundreds of alumni will come back for homecoming next weekend.
